I'd recommend waiting until at least the first batch of -stable patches
is released.
We're going to wait until F-8 is EOL before doing that in F-9.

K. btw, is there somewhere to find out this info in general without
mailing the list? i.e. is there a schedule or other forum?

Which BTW are being prepared right now ("Responses should be made by

We're going to wait until F-8 is EOL before doing that in F-9.
EOL for F8 is round about around Christmas afaics. I suppose nobody
wants to do such a big update right before the holidays. Thus it might
get delayed until early January; even more due to the time in
updates-testing. 2.6.28 by then will be in its final stages or might be
released already.
IOW: The plan sounds quite odd to me. Even worse: Users will get quite
confused -- they are used to getting new major kernels as regular Fedora
update round about 2-4 weeks after upstream released them.
So why not push 2.6.27 for F9 soon? Chances are good that by putting it
in updates-testing for F9 soon we'll find some bugs in 2.6.27 that we
can fix in both F9 and rawhide -- thus the kernel for F10 will get in
better shape for release.
Just my 2 cent.

+1
as we already use the kernel in rawhide it should be easier to create
a stable build for f9. (bugs are getting fixed in/for rawhide anyway)

I was thinking about doing the 2.6.27 update for F9 right after F10 ships. F8 can
just stay on 2.6.26 until it goes EOL.
In the meantime we need to get the F10 kernel into shape for release...

I guess (shock, horror!) that kmod packages have a use after all :)
In the meantime we need to get the F10 kernel into shape for
release...
Agreed.
